[h=1]These Are the Econ Blogs You Need to Read[/h]Feb 18, 2015 9:00 AM EST

In a piece earlier this month, I declared that blogging wasn’t dead, that it would be more about discussions and arguments, and that bloggers would be more specialized. As a follow-up, I thought it would be good to give Bloomberg View readers a quick guide to the best that the economics corner of the blogosphere has to offer.
Economics has taken to the blog format like no other discipline, and some of the biggest and most important policy arguments of the financial crisis got hashed out on the blogs rather than in the academic journals. So if you’re at all interested in smart economics commentary, here is a baker’s dozen of the blogs you should be reading. I’m limiting the list to independent bloggers who don’t have a regular major media platform (so no Paul Krugman -- but you already know Paul Krugman).

....

If you are looking for information rich blogging, this might be worth following up on.

I am familiar with most of these sites. It is Noah Smith that I just discovered a few days ago. In fact I had one of his posts on Noahopinion in a browser tab when I saw your thread.

For me reading through the list is somewhat depressing. It represents the range of thinking in economics. It is the broad range of that thinking that is depressing.

I am an engineer and a pilot. These are similar in that you can't cheat physics. The frustrating thing about economics is that, in the terms of engineering and flight, you can cheat the science by inventing your own physics.

Anyway, thanks, this is a good catch and very useful.
